Abysia and Death Scale

Striking difference from my Last game my Slayer hero was attacked by horrors 4 stright turns, when he was in magic +3 province, for +1 magic provincies he wasn't touched by horrors for more then 30 turns!
I can't tell exact numbers but high magic -> much higher chanse of horror attacks.

As for growth/death i'm taking +0. It's not a wise choise to take growth with abysia obviously, but i don't like death eather. Blood hunting reduces population pretty fast and with standard richness/magic freq. settings on the mid sized maps you do have to have gold for mages and temples. (It's pretty important to have high dominion). And with diminishing population it's not as easy task as it seems.

Well perhaps horrors were sent by someone else, or you gave him a magic item attracting horrors?

I never heard about magic scale attracting horrors.

Sure it was due to attracting item, but isn't it pitty to lose your hero with soul contact due to horror attack?
As for sent by some one else - Slayer has very high Stelth rating

Just for comparision, Horrors loves Kugi so IIRC all my heroes with Kugi Gifts Lasts no more then 5-6 turns even in +1 magical scale. I suppose for +3 scale it'll be instant death!

I've had several commanders with Soul Contracts in a province with magic +3 for 60+ turns without a single Horror attack.

Blood hunting doesn't have much of an effect on population, patrolling to reduce unrest does have a huge effect.

If you put 3 blood hunters in the same province it does. IIRC 1 slave - 10 pop.

Strange, may be luck comes into play.
I just checked provinces where my hero was attacked every turn: misfortune -2, magic +3.
